To say that I hate everyone on this tram would not be entirely accurate.
Entrammed.
One day, or rather night, I would like to sleep for more than four hours. One day.
@franksting It’s OK, after a week I start hating how it feels, hating how I look, and hating everything in the universe.
Tub waan ped ped maak aroi maak krub.
Why has a person from Hong Kong been allowed in here?
@RealNickHodge Any reference to whale sashimi is a win.
I have tub waan.
@jonoabroad @Pozible The more money, the more naked photos. That’s how it works on the sites I go to.
@jeamland I believe what you’re after is a single .45 round into the CPU.
helenperris The best thing about this government is that fiction writers can now write whatever crazy stuff they want and it will be totally plausible.
RT @smperris A Pozible to make Geordie take that back and promise never to do it again. [Whatever it was, please donate.]
@dahowlett I’ll miss you.
@PeteLawler It’s actually a crack in the screen right across the front of the webcam. Only noticeable with flare.
I am in love with @RealNickHodge.
There shall be tub waan. I may regret this later. But they know me too well at [REDACTED]. I guess I say “YOLO” now.
Now I’ve made these videos. youtube.com/watch?v=FG4cjB… But what you’re meant to be doing is supporting the @Pozible. pozible.com/edict1
@franksting It’s more than I just can’t be arsed shaving if I don’t have to.
DomSequitur I’m laughing and little farts just keep popping out.
@dahowlett BTW, are you going to be at SuiteWorld next month?
@dahowlett Plural Eyes looks like it’s the tool for the job. I’ll check it out when I’m doing something more than arseing around.
@dahowlett For that reason I always record at 24 bits per channel these days. SD cards are cheap. Gives you room to fix your fuckups.
@dahowlett Changing speed can introduce some quantisation noise to the audio, depending on how many bits you have to play with…
@oberonsghost I think you’d like Jan Švankmajer’s work. Very dark. Very Czech. Have absinthe first.
@dahowlett That said, it’s a PITA to do. But it’s doable.
@dahowlett That’s no the cause here but, yes, that’s fixable. Extract the audio track, re-speed it in your DAW of choice, paste it back in.
And the audio IS slightly out of sync. I’ll fix that tomorrow.

Metadata analysis works both ways, Mr Rabbit.

R_Chirgwin It’s time to start identifying Ayn Rand readers in Australia from their metadata, and burning them at the fucking stake.
@oberonsghost Maybe they should be the Cabinets of Curiosities. I had an even better one, but I forgot it.

@nancycato1 The speech patterns, yes. The school, maybe not.
OK, this is the tedious part of working with video. The 10 and 20 minute gaps as everything renders and copies.
@nancycato1 It’s that Prince Alfred College education. We all learn to enunciate and speak RP. ;)
What are you suggesting?
@nancycato1 You’re right. pozible.com/edict1 is the thing. The audio in the page won’t be much help, but the video may be OK.
@snerdish @juhasaarinen @_chesty Indeed, I might add in a special reward involving me and lingerie.
rashasman My main questions about these additional JSF purchases. Are they single origin fighters? Are they artisanal JSFs?

That’s the video editing done. (Quicker when I don’t fuck up the audio sync.) Now, to mix the audio. I may even try uploading it from here.
The video is recorded. I might edit it and mix the soundtrack right here at the corner table. Maybe someone will come and buy me drinks.
@OaaSvc Recurring means not having to re-pimp, so generally better, but my gut feeling for this first one is that it doesn’t matter.
@OaaSvc Exactly. Sun-Tue will be rather good for business, I think.
@ChrissieM Oh that’s most kind. I do realise this is a weird week, however.
RT @_chesty: @stilgherrian wear lingerie [Yes, you’ve given me an excellent idea.]
@SnarkyPlatypus Il est sur le flux de trésorerie. Je ne devrais pas vous le fardeau de telles choses.

@Gin_ev_ra I’ll fix the last bit, a paste error. And yes, the podcasts are available to all. Community broadcasting model.

@OaaSvc Maybe, but my budget doesn’t run to any more pubs, because time.
@RealNickHodge I need to get a different tram ticket for that, I think.

I’m thinking I might head into the Sydney CBD soon. I need the sunlight to prevent the descent into angst.

@virag064 Why am I not the least bit surprised?

@matfarrington They’re all there according to my interface, but not showing when not signed in. Investigating.

@HarrisonPolites We should, but I have no Melbourne plans just yet. That reminds me that I had a possible reason for a visit though.
That @dobes just said that the pun in my proposed headline was “horrid” is clearly a sign that we’ll be running with it tomorrow.

@HarrisonPolites Ah! I read “Image: AAP” as being the source of the chart, not of the… background image?
@HarrisonPolites I’m having a go at the chart, not you. Mentally running thru “How to Lie with Statistics”, a must-read.
@damonism I’m engaged a “casual academic” which is a thing. I’ve no idea about the IR law aspects of it.
@HarrisonPolites All it shows is that people spend more money when shops are open than when they’re closed, which is… reasonable.
@HarrisonPolites Nor does it it compare the overall weekly spend with other weeks, nor factor out school holiday effects.
@HarrisonPolites Of course that chart is meaningless, since it doesn’t compare those Thu and Sat figures with “normal” ones.
@zerogeewhiz It’s the difference between enterprise and consumer software approaches.
@zerogeewhiz I think this is the Great Legacy Chasm.
@zerogeewhiz This strikes me as being clunkier than it needs to be.

Oh thanks, @cmrnmnning @staticsan @zerogeewhiz @crankypants81, useful background.
I still laugh every time I remember that I actually count as “academic staff” at an actual university. Well, UTS.
I’m checking my UTS staff email account for the first time in months. Quite an adventure.
How come HR systems don’t automate out-of-office messages directly from approved leave applications and rosters? Surely it’d be easy enough.
GrogsGamut “Australia’s decision to go ahead with the purchase will please Lockheed Martin, the company that makes the JSF.” Gee, ya think?
People whose out-of-office message doesn’t say who’s doing their job and paying people while they’re away until 28 April. #IceMoonPrison

Is @dobes back in the city yet? Am I required to get angry about something?
No no, @leslienassar, that wasn’t an “insight”, that was a “fistula”. You keep getting them confused.
@leslienassar It’s an irregular noun. Corporate executives don’t have “opinions”, they have “insights”. Just see any press release.

jeamland Dear @TonyAbbottMHR, has there been a cost-benefit analysis as to how efficiently the F-35 can tow boats back?
@purserj Yes, leaving it open to construct legal racist attacks by dressing it up in science drag. Truly obscene.
“Science is not a consensus issue. Science is whatever the science is,” says Maurice Newman, who then say there’s “no evidence”. I see.
So what happens next ? Some people call Maurice Newman a fuckwit, then Soapy the Ankle QC says his rights are being violated.
